Microsoft Office for Mac Question

I have the above office program and would like to know if it is possible to password an individual document as one can when using a PC. If so how do I go about it Thank You .

Yes it is possible, and there is no reason to ask here.

When running Word, go to the Help menu, select "Word Help" and type in "password" for full instructions.

Whenever you delete a file (with the GUI, ie, not via the command line) it normally gets first moved into the trash (exception is to overwrite a file with a new file having the same name).

Are you unable to move the file to the trash (with some error message popping up)? Or are you unable to empty the trash with the file in it? In the latter situation, the simplest way usually is to select 'Secure Empty Trash' from the Finder menu.

For the really tough cases there is a whole set of possible solutions with varying degree of complexity:

Thank you for your comprehensive reply, my problem is I can not find delete in the office program to delete a file I no longer want. I tired to drag/drop to trash and it will not drop a file to trash. Looking through many forums I am not the only one who is frustrated by the fact that there does not seem to be provision to delete an unwanted file or folder. I have tried Help and many suggested options nothing seems to work. I do not have a problem with Trash just finding delete. Thanks again, any help will be appreciated.

I believe it is as simple as to delete a file or folder from any other type of application. It is done in the finder with the list of all files and folders. Just click (select) the file and push command+delete and it goes into the trash. Perhaps it is different from the pc way of doing it.

Have a look at this technote from Apple (it was one of 15+ links I put the pointer to):

Read through it carefully, hopefully one of the techniques described in it solves your problem.

To all the kind Mac Office users who helped me thank you so much as it was starting to bug me that I couldn't find delete. I am new to the program on a Mac and yes it is different though not difficult when you know where to look. I now see Finder is their version of PC's Explorer and I was looking for a version of Explorer as well, so all problems solved, thanks.
